Nähdään Suomessa sitte n. 3 viikon päästä, IIIIIIK!!!! English: A quick throw back to our road trip to Great Ocean Road. So after New Year on Friday 2nd of January we decided to tick one of the things on my bucket list and it was the trip to the one of the world's scenic coastal drives! We were on the road from Saturday to Monday. We stayed at Ocean Grove because all the accommodations on Great Ocean Road were booked out or the prices were way too expensive. During those few days we enjoyed John Legend's amazing songs, the beach, the huge waves (I almost drowned... just kidding), watching the surfers riding waves, beautiful scenery along the road, 12 Apostles, waterfalls, sleepy koalas and Fil's favoutites, lighthouses. It was such a good trip and I wouldn't mind on doing it again. :)
1. My parents are from the Philippines so I'm 100% filipina. BUT I've been living my entire life in cold cold cold Finland. No, I wasn't born in Finland though. I was born in Germany. And my surname, San Juan, is spanish. A bit confusing yeah? 2. About my name: it's probably the most difficult name to write/pronounce. Rowina San Juan. It doesn't look hard, right? But the problem is that when it's pronounced no one knows how to write it! Here in Australia people write my name as "Rowena" which is understandable as that is the "normal" way to write that name.. :D But in Finland .. oh dear. I've been called "Robina, Rokina, Rosita, Roina, Ruina, Lorina... the list is endless. And then my surname, San Juan. It's pronounced "San Huan" because in Spanish J is pronounced like H. And it's confusing because the words are separated.. so some may think that "San" is my second name and "Juan" is my last name. Or that San is some kind of title etc.. So for example on my bank card it says " San Rowina Marie Juan" :) 3. I love food. Especially ice cream. I could live only with ice cream... 4. I love to take pictures. Photographing is one of my favorite things to do. I'm good behind the camera but on front of the camera I'm super awkward. I just have no idea what to do... weird. 5. I'm a person who rather be 30 minutes too early than 10 minutes late. Even when I was a kid I used to be at school 7.30 even though school wouldn't start till 8.15.... 6. In new situations where there are lots of people, and I don't know most of them, I can be really shy. I'm usually the one standing in the corner all alone. I'm just not good at starting conversations. So if someone else starts the conversation then I'm fine. 7. I love kids! 8. I have the weirdest memory ever. Some things, more like daily things,I forget them really easily. That's why my calendar is always full of stuff, because if I don't write things down, I will most likely forget them. And that's not good... How many birthdays I've forgot.. It's really embarrassing but I can't help it!!!! :( But on the other hand when it comes to studying I have decent memory. I write notes with different colors and I can remember my notes just by thinking the color that I used for those notes. This is the reason why I'm so interested about brains, and how we learn and how our memory works. 9. This is really Asian thing to say but I don't care: I love maths. I don't know why but I've always liked it. I've like to solve things.. I just like numbers haha. But must say, I suck at mental calculation! 10. I'm not a very girly girl. 11. I love people watching. I love to be in a crowded place and just watch all the people passing by. Usually I wonder what they are thinking, where they've been and where they are going. I like to make up my own little happy stories in my mind. :) 12. I have no sense of rhythm. It's just terrible. Just terrible. I can't sing (OK when I'm in the shower or cleaning I like to think I'm the best singer everrrrrrr), I can't play any instrument...Oh and I can't dance. 13. I hate bugs. Especially all the bugs here in Australia... In Finland we only have cute bugs....
14. I'm afraid of darkness, height and their combination: deep water. 15. If I could choose a super power it would be ability to fly. I've always dreamed about flying. Damn, I envy birds. 16. I'm an animal lover. Dogs, cats, ferrets, bunnies... <3 <3 <3
17. I'm really awkward on the phone. I just don't know how to talk normally on the phone :D "emm hi emm yea umm where are you umm ok well yeaaaah idk why I called bye...."
18. I need to start everything with my right foot. Getting out of the bed, putting shoes on.. I must start with the right one. o.O
19. I love to laugh. OK who wouldn't? But like the feeling when you are with someone and they make you laugh. :)
20. I love traveling. The feeling of being in a new place, seeing different things that you are used to, getting new experiences and having new friends.
